Residential Solid Waste Collection and Disposal Services with 96-Gallon Containers and City Dumpsters

The City of Springfield solicits proposals from qualified companies to perform municipal residential solid waste collection and disposal services. The selected contractor must supply new 96-gallon containers, dispose of solid waste in a permitted Subtitle D landfill, pay all disposal costs, and report monthly waste amounts. Additionally, the contractor must supply two public cardboard dumpsters and three city-use solid waste dumpsters, emptying all five weekly. The current provider may submit separate pricing for retaining existing containers versus providing new ones. Only onshore USA organizations with expertise in municipal residential waste services, continuous equipment, staff, and municipal references are eligible. Bidders must submit one hard copy and one flash drive copy in a sealed envelope clearly labeled on the outside. Bidders must send all questions by October 21, 2026, and submit proposals by November 3, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The buyer evaluates proposals using a 100-point scale based on RFP compliance, service understanding, services provided, qualifications, Effingham County performance, and cost. The text does not state the budget or contract term, though the city's current solid waste contract expires or renews on March 31, 2027.
